See also the [[Trivia/LiloAndStitch Trivia page]] for the whole franchise and the original film.----* ActorAllusion: In one episode Pleakley claims he and Jumba are "Canadians from Canadia." Kevin [=McDonald=] is Canadian.* BigInJapan: Sparky and Angel were popular enough to appear in ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''[[note]]Sparky was in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth By Sleep]]'', Angel currently has only appeared as TheCameo in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX X]]''[[/note]] and ''Anime/{{Stitch}}'', as well as numerous Japanese merchandise based on ''Lilo & Stitch'', despite debuting in ''WesternAnimation/StitchTheMovie'' and the American animated series.* BonusEpisode: "Link" was this for the DVD release of ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch'', and it aired as the last episode of ''The Series'' a month later.* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Jess Winfield stated on his TV Tome Q&A thread (partial fan archive [[http://lilo-andstitch.tripod.com/tvtome/page03.html here]]) that his favorite episode was "Yin-Yang", saying that the episode's experiments, story, and theme worked well together. "Angel" and "Bonnie & Clyde" were also his other favorites. However, he stated this in December 2004, during the early days of the second season, so it's unknown if his opinions have changed afterward.* CreatorsPest: Keoni Jameson; see below under ExecutiveMeddling.* CrossDressingVoice:** Creator/TressMacNeille, Creator/TaraStrong, Dionne Quan, Creator/NancyCartwright and Creator/FrankWelker for several experiments.** ''Series/TheKidsInTheHall'' cast members Scott Thompson and Bruce [=McCulloch=] voice Pleakley's mother and sister Pixley, respectively.* DoingItForTheArt: The show makers had to push for the ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' crossover because execs didn't want to use a series that had been canceled for five years.* ExecutiveMeddling:** The executives did not like [[LoveInterest Angel]] and didn't want her to appear again. After finding out about [[BreakoutCharacter her popularity among fans]], they relented, but only for [[GrandFinale the last episode]]. Of course, nowadays, Disney is all too willing to give her some regular promotion and merchandise, and they made sure to make up for screwing her out of this show by giving her several more appearances through the following ''Anime/{{Stitch}}'' anime.** On the other hand, Keoni Jameson was mandated by Disney execs as an [[AudienceSurrogate audience avatar]]. [[TheScrappy The fans]] [[CreatorsPest and the writers hated him for it.]]** The show was originally conceived as an action-adventure series with a similarly somber tone as the film, but Creator/DisneyChannel wanted something LighterAndSofter. One could even possibly tell from watching the {{pilot|Movie}} ''WesternAnimation/StitchTheMovie'', as there are some elements of the original film's melancholic tone in a few scenes.* FanNickname:** 627 is given the name "Evile" by fans and [[TheWikiRule wikis]] due to "evil" being [[PokemonSpeak the only word he said]], [[Anime/{{Stitch}} at least initially]]. That being said, he was never named by anyone in the franchise proper.** On the flip side, Leroy from ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch'' is also called Experiment 629 by fans and wikis. Although some commercials that aired before his debut and some Japanese merchandise number him 628, there was already an Experiment 628 as seen in pod form at the end of 627's episode. 628 was never activated, and Leroy was never officially numbered by Jumba. (Jumba tried to number him 627, but Gantu reminded him that he already made Experiment 627.)* UsefulNotes/HighDefinition: Although it was made during an era where most households still had standard-def [=TVs=], all sixty-five episodes of ''Lilo & Stitch: The Series'' were produced in HD. Not many fans know that, however.* ImageSource: A crop from "[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E30Angel Angel]]" currently provides the page image for SweetieGraffiti.* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Pleakley is voiced by Kevin [=McDonald=] from ''Series/TheKidsInTheHall''; when his family came to visit in "[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E14Fibber Fibber]]", his former castmates provided their voices. [[CrossDressingVoices Scott Thompson was his mom, Bruce McCullough was his sister]] and [=Mark McKinney=] was his brother. [[ItMakesSenseInContext Dave Foley was the priest]].* MissingEpisode: The {{crossover}} episode with ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' never aired on Disney Channel, possibly because the network was worried that the kids that were into ''Lilo & Stitch'' would have no idea what ''Recess'' is.* NoExportForYou:** ''The Series'' has been fully released on DVD, but only in Japan. Some episodes were also released on DVD in other regions, but not in full, and there has never been a Region 1 (the United States and Canada) DVD release of ''The Series''. In those two countries, "Mr. Stenchy" and "Clip" were released on a DVD game called ''Lilo & Stitch's Island of Adventures'', "Slushy" and "Poxy" were released on separate UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance Video cartridges,[[note]]bundled with episodes of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' and--alongside "Poxy" only--''WesternAnimation/BrandyAndMrWhiskers''[[/note]] and "Link" is a bonus feature on the ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch'' DVD.** On the digital distribution and streaming front, all four ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' [[Disney/LiloAndStitch2StitchHasAGlitch films]] are on services such as [=iTunes=], Amazon, and Creator/{{Netflix}}, but ''The Series'' has never been made legally available for either home or digital video in its entirety in the West.[[note]]However, it seems that ''The Series'' [[https://www.netflix.com/title/70177047 was apparently on Netflix]] at one point.[[/note]] There will be a lot of missing context if one were to watch both ''WesternAnimation/StitchTheMovie'' and ''Leroy & Stitch'' without ever having seen ''The Series''. The show is legally available on digital services in some countries and in English, but primarily in countries outside of the Anglosphere, with only the first season available. Going even further, despite being produced and broadcast in UsefulNotes/HighDefinition at 16:9 widescreen, most uploads of ''The Series''--legal and illegal--are only in standard-def at 4:3 full-screen. The only known legally available HD version of the show is on [[https://itunes.apple.com/fr/tv-season/lilo-stitch-saison-1-vol-1/id470493911 iTunes France]], and that service has only the French dub of the first season available.[[note]][[https://itunes.apple.com/de/tv-season/lilo-and-stitch-season-1/id312685960 iTunes Germany]] has the original English version, as well as the [[https://itunes.apple.com/de/tv-season/lilo-stitch-staffel-1/id312399826 German dub]], but with only the first season available in 4:3 standard definition.[[/note]]* TheOtherDarrin:** In the episodes where Cobra Bubbles appear, Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson voiced him. Creator/VingRhames does voice the character though, but only as one of Experiment 300's shapeshifted forms in "Spooky" and not for the actual Cobra Bubbles.** Creator/DeeBradleyBaker replaced Jason Scott Lee as the voice of David in ''The Series''.** In her first appearance, Victoria is voiced by Creator/DaveighChase, which lead to TalkingToHerself with Lilo, and in her second appearance, Alyson Stoner voiced her.* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Subverted, sort of. Some fans believe that Disney canceled the show, but in actuality, the show was planned to be a SixtyFiveEpisodeCartoon from the start. Never mind the fact that Disney did produce ''[[WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch a finale film]]'' for the show.* TalkingToHimself: [[AllStarCast Lots of them]], including Creator/JeffBennett, Creator/NancyCartwright, Music/GreyDeLisle, Creator/TressMacNeille, Creator/RobPaulsen, Creator/ChrisSanders, Creator/TaraStrong and Creator/FrankWelker.** [[Creator/DaveighChase Lilo and Victoria]], though only in the latter's first appearance.** Both Mrs. Edmonds and Aunt Stacy are voiced by Creator/AprilWinchell.* TechnologyMarchesOn: [=VCRs=] and videocassettes were shown or referenced a few times in the show. Those things were already in decline by the time ''The Series'' debuted and would become completely obsolete in just a few years.[[note]]In fact, the year the show debuted (2003), DVD rentals exceeded VHS rentals in the United States for the first time. ''Leroy & Stitch'' (2006) even holds the distinction of being the only ''Lilo & Stitch'' film to have never seen a VHS release.[[/note]] Other episodes also showed some older Earth-based computers.* TrollingCreator: To some extent; that [[spoiler:pod of Experiment 628]] seen at the end of "627"? That was just a joke added in.* WhatCouldHaveBeen:** Precious (Experiment 400) was meant to have her own episode as a parody of ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' where she would be thrown into an [[ChekhovsVolcano active volcano]] where the extreme heat from the lava would defeat her but alas, the idea was scrapped due to copyrights. Now why they couldn't use [[MagmaMan Yang]] for a [[FridgeBrilliance lava source]] is beyond anybody's guess.** Spot (Experiment 099) was supposed to appear in "Spike", but the experiment wasn't added to the episode and remains unseen to this day.** In a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4QWt8Hbl4g conceptual storyboard for "Ace"]] by Sahin Ersöz, Jumba was supposed to be expelled from E.G.O. for saving Pleakley from a tidal wave staged by Lilo, Stitch, and some of the other experiments. Unfortunately, [[ExecutiveMeddling Disney's Standards and Practices didn't approve of this]], hence why it was changed to Jumba showing the head of E.G.O. [[ClipShow footage of the experiments]] instead.----
